À propos de cet audio

 After finding himself caught up in one of Louisiana’s oldest and bloodiest family rivalries, Detective Dave Robicheaux must battle the most terrifying adversary he has ever encountered: a time-traveling superhuman assassin.

The Shondell and Balangie families are longtime enemies in the New Iberia criminal underworld and show each other no mercy. Yet their youngest heirs, Johnny Shondell and Isolde Balangie, rock and roll-musician teenagers with magical voices, have fallen in love and run away after Isolde was given as a sex slave to Johnny’s uncle.

As he seeks to uncover why, Detective Dave Robicheaux gets too close to both Isolde’s mother and the mistress of her father, a venomous New Orleans mafioso whose jealousy has no bounds. In retribution, he hires a mysterious assassin to go after Robicheaux and his longtime partner, Clete Purcel. This hitman is unlike any the “Bobbsey Twins from Homicide” have ever faced. He has the ability to induce horrifying hallucinations and travels on a menacing ghost ship that materializes without warning. In order to defeat him and rescue Johnny and Isolde, Robicheaux will have to overcome the demons that have tormented him throughout his adult life—alcoholism, specters from combat in Vietnam, and painful memories of women to whom he opened his heart only to see killed.

A Private Cathedral, James Lee Burke’s fortieth book, is his most powerful tale, one that will captivate readers—mixing crime, romance, mythology, horror, and science fiction to produce a thrilling story about the all-consuming, all-conquering power of love.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Will Patton continues to prove himself the perfect narrator for the Dave Robicheaux series. This time the detective investigates the long-standing feud between two of Louisiana's oldest and bloodiest families and finds himself facing the threat of a chilling time-traveling assassin. The lizard-faced killer can induce horrifying hallucinations and travels on a ghost ship that can appear anywhere. Patton shifts his colorful character voices and pacing with the ease of an oyster sliding down a gullet. He gives Dave's ever-present sidekick, Clete Purcell, a gruff growl and squeezes out profanities with the bite of a hungry alligator. This new adventure entertains as it mixes several genres that challenge our perceptions of our world."

I am an avid reader of Mr Burke’s work so I approach performance pieces with trepidation. Will Patton excels as he presents what may be Mr Burke’s most ambitious, absorbing and nuanced work. I give both Mr Burke and Mr Patton my thanks and congratulations on this fine work.

James Lee Burke in the finest way.

I loved it. Dave Robicheaux novels are always hard to put down. Also, this novel is very current to our affairs these days in 2020.

Gripping story

Burke is still a master of dialogue and lyrical description of Louisiana. With a few words he reveals a character’s personality. Don’t be put off by the Gothic element, it’s in all his stories. The narrator is first-rate, doing many voices very well. You always want to know what is going to happen next. Frightening villains. I enjoyed it greatly.

Excellent reader, excellent dialogue.

Dave Robichaux is something else, and in the hands of J. L. Burke he is an unforgettable character. I'm slowly going through all the Robichaux books, and can't wait for the next one.

As always, Will Patton does a masterful job of narrating.

Another tour the force by J. L. Burke

I usually love a Robicheaux novel, even when it’s tinged with the supernatural. Dave and Clete will sometimes see fleeting ghost(s) or deal with an almost superhuman villain. The villain usually turns out to be not that superhuman after all and ghost sightings can be explained away by their drinking, their closeness to death, or the supernatural nature of Louisiana itself. This one goes overboard on both by the end. Set before Molly’s arrival, this reads like a rejected Robicheaux novel, with some tacked on fleeting 2020 references to confederate statues, pulled from a trunk to fill out a book publisher contract. Hoping JLB will be back to form for the next one.

I’ve been a Burke fan for years and have enjoyed the other Dave R. novels, but this one was ultimately more disappointing than anything else. The ending preposterous and much of it overwritten to an unforgivable degree. I think it’s time for Mr. Burke to hang it up and enjoy his retirement.

Very disappointing!!!
